Our most recent mystery, “Old log building,” shows the Faith Cabin Library. The photo was sent in by reader Rachel Cox, who shared she was concerned about the future of libraries and museums.
Reader Allan Peel of San Antonio, Texas, shared that the old one-room cabin “was built in 1936 to serve as a public library for African Americans who were barred from using public libraries due to segregation laws.” It was part of a Rosenwald school and operated until 1954.
Longtime sleuth George Graf of Palmyra, Va., added the organization that founded the library was run by a White mill worker from Saluda who went on to graduate from Furman and become a minister. “His organization from the 1930s to 1950s started more than a 100 libraries with more than 200,000 donated books.”
Others who correctly identified the building were David Lupo of Mount Pleasant and Don Clark of Hartsville.
